Menopause

Hot flashes, itchy skin, mood swings, and memory lapses – when the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause appear, they create a barrage of questions in women's minds struggling to prepare for this life milestone. When will my periods completely disappear?

A lot of options are available for menopause treatment, options that can be tailored to each individual woman. Women do need to have some guidelines about menopause, what to expect, and what that means. At this stage of their life, many female patients visit their physician not just because of symptoms they’re experiencing that are troubling them, but also because of an overall concern about entering menopause.
